Dear George, Jim and all,
thanks for your replies. For an open study group like us, we have a
good degree of flexibility. Members can participate in the discussions
in the way which best fit their schedules. I am glad that George will
continue with pariccheda 2, at his own pace. In the meantime, I shall
go on with setting up the project page on tipitaka.net, and shall
notify you when it is ready.
metta,
Yong Peng.

what I started with pariccheda 2. I would be hesitant to commit to
any schedule, because how fast I can go depends on unpredictable
factors such as the difficulty of the text, how much time I have, and
so on.
